[mythtv-users] Plextor external USB capture device

[Jim Minihane]

Yeah, That's what I thought was kind of weird. I've just installed FC4 on a
machine. I had errors until I didn't create a partition as xfs or jfs. Now
that I've updated it (yum), I'll try creating a partition as jfs or xfs in
the remaining 38GB. It wouldn't recognize my onboard sound either. I'd just
LOVE to find a distro that doesn't throw errors. Knoppmyth wouldn't install
either. So here it is... Do the Plextors work with Mythdora or not? I'll
switch to PVR-500's if I have to. Will they be recognized automatically? I'd
rather not go through distro after distro. If no one lese has done this then
I'll have to but I suspect that nothing I am about to try has never been
done. I'd like to leverage previous knowledge.
